Herstory (2018) - full transcript

Dragged away
and forced to sexual slavery,

3 comfort women

and 7 other victims,

who were mobilized to work
at Japanese female labor camps,

battled against
the Japanese government

for many years
in the Shimonoseki Trials.

This film is based on those
true events.

You really are amazing.

I didn't do anything!

I'm lucky to have
bright men around.

My cook said
there are pizza buffets



but why aren't there any
meat buffets?

Then it hit me!

So my husband got people together
and started the franchise.

I didn't do anything!

Geeze!

KIM Hae-sook
KIM Hee-ae
That's the problem with women.

KIM Hae-sook KIM Hee-ae

KIM Hae-sook
KIM Hee-ae
Why's it all thanks to others?
What about you?

Why's it all thanks to others?
What about you?

That's why only men are presidents!

And tycoons are all men
with loud voices!!

Why can't you say
you made it and brag?

Why are there no new members
in our Women's Association?

Look!



Why are we the only female CEOs
in all of Busan!

- I'm right, aren't I?
- Yes ma'am!

Lunch is on me today.
You can thank me.

Fine, I'll speak up.
I'm a woman, hear me roar!

- How's that?
- Is Ms. MOON Jung-sook here?

Your company has violated
the Prevention of Prostitution Act.

What?

- Let go!
- Sit there, please.

Mr. CHOI? What happened?

Be quiet, please.

A man died here!
A Japanese man!

I'd say if I knew,
but I didn't know.

How can the CEO not know?
We can track your accounts.

You want me to lie
and say that I knew?

Keep your voice down!

I don't believe this!

Go inside.

Ms. MOON!

You're pretty brave
for a new worker.

I'm sorry...

We're very sorry, sir.

We apologize, sir.
We'll compensate for losses.

We're very sorry.

Please calm down, sir.

We'll call again
with more details, sir.

Ms. MOON...

It's my fault.

I got shocked and reported it
without thinking.

I'm so sorry.

I'll resign, ma'am.

Stop crying.
See to the bereaved family!

Go apologize to
the complaining customers.

Hello?

- Thank you.
- What is it?

Hello, ma'am. She's inside.

Procuring prostitution?
And a man died while doing it?

How'd you get charged
with something so nasty?

I got stabbed in the back
by a trusted employee.

God is just.

The Bible says,
'Boughs that bear most hang lowest. '

No, that's a proverb.

Wanna die?

Still feisty after
serving time in jail, huh?

- I'll let you off this time.
- From what?

- Thank you.
- Have a nice day!

Come soon!

Not again.

You always forget donation time.

We 're donating to single mothers
this month.

Why leave me out?

With your business suspended and
compensations, you'll go broke.

I own the top travel agency
in Busan.

I'll donate for sure!
Bye.

Wait! Don't hang up!

How's Hye-Su?

I went by the school and heard
she was absent for 3 days.

Did you know?

I gotta go.

You didn't, did you?
Hello?

- Why'd you skip school?
- Who cares!

I'm homeschooling!

Why won't you go to school?
Explain! I won't get mad.

- There's no reason!
- Get the key, please.

- Why do you care all of a sudden!?
- Throwing a tantrum won't help!

If she hates it that much,
just let her be.

I'm her mom. The key, please!

Open the door!

COMFORT WOMEN VICTIM
A woman revealed her ordeals as
a comfort woman for the first time.

COMFORT WOMEN VICTIM

COMFORT WOMEN VICTIM
Granny? More watermelon, please.

Granny? More watermelon, please.

Get it yourself.
Don't trouble granny.

Who cares!

- Hye-Su!
- What!

It's okay. Stay there.

What made you decide
to reveal your story?

I always thought it was unfair
and wanted to seek justice.

We had to follow the soldiers...

Look at that granny.

Bad things at your age
ruined her whole life.

This is an important time
in your life.

One false move
could ruin your whole life.

Stop whining and be thankful
for what you have now.

You're one fearsome person, Ms. MOON.

Pardon?

'Children are gifts.
I'm sorry, I quit. '

'I don't need money.
Thanks for everything. '

- Were you being rude again?
- It's been 16 years.

She saw everything.

She cleaned and left without a word?
She's scary.

She just left a note
and said she didn't need money.

I'll find a new housekeeper
for you.

Words can't express everything.

That granny's on again.

It didn't matter
if we were menstruating.

Oh dear.

They treated us like...

Thank you! Come again!

Our Women's Association
should do something!

Right?

Whatever.

Is anyone home?

Hello?

Ma'am?

Oh my.

Are you okay? Can you sit up?

- What are you doing here?
- What happened to your face?

Why'd you come...

Get up. Let's get you treated.

Don't mind me.

Who are you?

Go Ms MOON! I'm fine.

I'm taking her to the hospital.

What? Why?

Look at her face!

Move over.

- Just go!
- What?

Go before something happens!
Hurry!

Go!

Stop it!

Hello, police?

Don't report my son!
Get out!

What in the world?

Just go!

Stop it. Calm down.

Get lost!

Get your dirty hands off me!

Why aren't you eating?

You don't like it?

What do you like?
I'll make it for dinner.

Where's granny?

She's not feeling well.

Not feeling well? So suddenly?

You can have it all by yourself.

Oh my.

Let's take a picture
of us donating, please.

Ready? One, two!

That's good.

We're sorry to make a racket,
but we're happy to help.

It's just the tip of the iceberg.

With all these living victims,
how can Japan keep denying it?

That's why these testimonies
are important.

Most of them came from Seoul?

From the countryside, too.

But there's not enough people
to visit everyone.

Not enough volunteers?

Busan is the second biggest city!

Why can't Busan have a help center?

There must be some grannies
who can't go because Seoul is too far.

That's right.

- We should help out.
- Why not?

What's with you!

Your agency's closed for 3 months.
Let's open a call center there.

I donated the most!
Why should I?

What's with you today?
Where's your Joan of Arc attitude?

It's just so unrelatable.

Your agency is about to go under.

So instead, open a call center
for the victimized grannies there.

- The publicity will help you!
- Right!

Then the prostitution ordeal
will be wiped off clean!

Great idea, huh?

Fine.

But just 3 months.

Of course! We're busy too!

My head! My head!

There are bugs in my head!

No! There are no bugs!
It's okay!

Stop it! Please!

Stop!

Stop it!

COMFORT WOMEN & LABOR CAMP
VICTIMS' CALL CENTER

- Mister!
- Yes?

A little to the right, please!

Be careful, sir!

Neurosyphilis cannot be
easily treated.

And it's unfortunate
that it developed past his 40s.

It's amazing
that you don't have it.

Let's wait and see.

What's my son watching?

I love you more than anything
in the world, you know?

Try this.

Come on.

Eat it.

Don't cry, son.

Comfort Women Victims
Call Center

- Our ad is the biggest.
- It's huge!

Any calls?

Not yet. It's only been a week.

- Don't work too hard.
- It's our job, ma'am.

You really are amazing
for doing something this meaningful.

Really!

- This huge ad, too.
- I'm just offering the space.

- Let's close up.
- Yes, ma'am.

Answer the phone.
Hurry!

Hello?

Busan Women's Association
Comfort Women Victims' Call Center...

Yes.

Hold please.

Hello?

It's over there.

Granny SEO Gwi-soon?

Yes?

How much is all this?

All of this?

Looks so fresh!

I'll tell you everything,
but will my name be revealed?

No need to worry about that.

You have a bad cough.
Maybe you should stop.

I'd rather die
than quit smoking.

Oh my...

Could you reconsider it?

I can't.

I'm sorry. Take care.

Ow, my legs!

Hello, Comfort Women...

A call center at a place
that ran prostitution tours?

Shut up and stay low!

We planned some new tours
for next year.

How about foreign language
training and family tours?

Ma'am! How've you been?

Ms. MOON is in a meeting.
Please wait.

I heard that it will be
anonymous.

No one can ever know
that I was here.

Is that right?

Yes, of course.

What I'm most curious about is
how much money I can get.

I need money for surgery.
That's my first priority...

Go away, Ms. MOON.

I'm not saying anything
in front of you.

They said I could become
a nurse, so I wanted to go.

I wanted to return home smarter.

I wanted to become someone
who can help out society.

Why didn't you tell me?

- We lived together for years...
- Don't say anything.

Ma'am!

Just go, Ms. MOON.

Leave me alone.

Please.

Leave me alone.

I'll get you a taxi.
Wait here.

Leave me alone.

After KIM's comfort women testimonies
shocked the nation,

the Busan Women's Association led by
Ms. MOON, CEO of Daehan Travel Agency

set up a call center in Busan for...

What crazy woman
would do such a thing?

Pardon?

And the grannies
should be ashamed, too.

How can they go on TV
and say they sold their bodies?

How can you say that?

It's obvious they're just
lying to get paid.

Why would they lie about
something like that?

They're doing it to make money.

It happened decades ago.
Why bring it up now?

Look.

They hid in fear of being judged.
What if she was your mom?

How can you be so rude!

What the hell!

- Get out.
- Are you insane!

Get off now!

Fine! You bastard!

Damn bitch!

So I bit his ear hard!

Then he got mad
and twisted my arm so hard!

I bit down harder
and blood gushed down his ear!

Then he... he broke my arm!

I screamed...

Why is this month's donation
so low?

Most businesses in Busan
deal with the Japanese.

They heard about the donations.
Business went down.

How can the president say that?

You'll be the same when you're back
in business next month.

This is serious.

It's not like we can't live without
their money!

Business is all about
expanding clients.

And the call center is staying
even after I reopen.

Why?

If our association doesn't help
who would?

If my business flops,
will you feed my family?

Yes, it's hurting our businesses!

If you're scared,
donate anonymously!

The grannies need our help.
Let's not be cheap, ladies.

Are you okay?

Yes, ma'am.

Granny LEE Ok-joo? How've you been?

- My daughter is here!
- It's me, MOON Jung-sook.

I bought you new shoes.

Hello, Ms. MOON.

Aunt Ok-joo? Remember them?

I'm sorry she's always like this...

It's okay.
She can tell us another time.

So pretty!

- What's with you today?
- Are you okay?

How many panties are there, ma'am?

Are they all yours?

Your mother agreed to testify.

Forget it! just go!

Such an embarrassment!

Mrs. HONG, I'm sorry about
your struggles.

It's amazing how you lived on.

I have nothing more to say.

Then I'll come next time.
Take care, ma'am.

This herbal medicine
is for you, ma'am.

Don't come again.

Pardon?

Don't come back!

I'm not like the others.

I became an owner later.

Of a comfort station?

I did what I could
to survive the damn war.

I lost all the money I made
after liberation.

As a woman too,
didn't you feel sorry?

You weren't born during the war
and have never known hunger!

How do you sleep
after what you did?

Let's go.

Why you!

Who reported me
and brought back my damn past!

Damn shitty bitches!

Help me... Please!

Mr. Mayor?

What's taking so long?
They qualify for welfare benefits.

They need that to live and...

Please stop asking me.
It's being processed.

Get the car.

- You can't go till it's processed!
- Damn.

And the Comfort Women Memorial?
Has that been approved?

Please go.

You promised you'd see to it!

War Veterans' Widows Association
are against the filthy women's statue.

My hands are tied!

Filthy women?

- I mean... That's the public sentiment.
- How can you say that!

Oh my!

Mr. Mayor!

Settle down.

- She's smoking!
- Come back ma'am!

Granny Soon-nyeo?
Why do you smoke so often?

- I'm frustrated.
- Why?

Word must've gotten out.

The men at the senior home
mumbled about me.

So I flipped the game board over
and left.

I heard all kinds of things, too.

That I'm yapping away
with no fear of heaven.

It scares me to hear that.

Horrible people.

But I'm not a comfort woman.

Just because you went to
the labor camp?

Still, it's different.

Ms. LEE Ok-joo, please.

Are you okay?

Why do you look so pale?

You're so weak.
Stop troubling Ms. MOON.

Stop it!

Are you okay?

Granny can't come back.

Things are hard for her,
and she's sick.

What are you doing?

I'm not cut out to be a mom.

But you said,

it's irresponsible to say
I'm not cut out to study.

Right.

It's all my fault.

I didn't know it'd be so hard
for you with granny gone.

I'll try to do better.

But the Japanese consulate
dealt with us for 20 years!

Many vendors are cancelling
with us, too.

They say you're anti-Japanese
and won't work with us.

Mr. ABE.

How could you cancel 120 reservations
with just a week left?

I'll have no choice but to demand
the cancellation fees.

Let's just go on with it.

We'll meet your demands.

I saw the newspapers.

I can't accept you blaming Japan
without evidence.

I'll pay the full cancellation fees.

What about the grannies?

Their testimonies are the proof!

You trust what those old women say?

They chose to sell their bodies
when they were young.

Now they're blaming us
to get some pocket money!

What?

The war was a tragedy
for the Japanese too.

Not to mention the atomic bombs.

What's more, we compensated
the Korean government years ago.

When will you people stop?

What kind of shit is this?

- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.

Shut down your damn call center!

Go to hell, bitch!

You're ruined!

That bastard!

I'm exhausted.

What more do I have to do?

No idea...

Don't sleep here! Go home!

How'd you know
to run away from the start?

You're so dang smart!

You've done more than enough!
.

It's not like you'll sue Japan
and get their apologies.

The grannies should get
$10 million each at the least!

Just forget it.

- It came.
- Yes, yes.

- Hold please.
- It's from the Japanese lawyer.

Hello?

Yes.

We will be landing in Fukuoka
in about 30 minutes.

LEE Sang-Il, A Lawyer Who Defends
Pacific War Victims Pro Bono

- Please calm down.
- Pardon?

You're too excited.

Excitement doesn't last long.

Time will tell
if I'm excited or persistent.

Are you rich?

Don't you work pro Bono
for war victims?

Yes, but there's more to consider.

The trial will be in Japan.
The costs will be high.

The grannies must come and go.

Money problem is the easiest
to solve.

Money likes me. Don't worry.

All I want

is to win.

Take a look.

This matter has to be dealt with
international law.

But domestic law comes first
in Japan.

The problem is that there are
no relevant laws within Japan.

You mean we could lose?

There's meaning in taking this
to court.

That's not enough!

The grannies deserve to get
apologies and compensations!

Our goal should be
raising international awareness.

No! I must win!

Fine.

Even if we lose,
I won't say anything.

Please help us.

I'll decide after meeting
the grannies.

It's a lawsuit without evidence.

Their testimonies
must be credible.

What if we go to court
then they make us pay for it later?

People are good at
betraying people.

Right.

Don't worry about money.

The lawyers agreed to work for free
and there is a support group.

I'll cover all the traveling, food,
and accommodations.

Will we get some money
if we win?

Of course you will.

But more than compensation...

Imagine them kneeling before you!

Wouldn't that be a sight?

Those damn samurais won't say,
it was their fault.

Never.

Someone I know
sued someone once.

It was so hard!
She had to go to court for years.

Then we have to go to
a Japanese court ourselves?

Yes!

I don't even want to
think about that.

And everyone will know
who we are if we testify in court.

What if people point fingers?

Right!

The president should step up
and do it.

Not old grannies.

- We can't do it.
- Right!

If I find a bug in my soup,
I can't even complain.

If they take my money,
I just sulk.

If people step on my foot,
I apologize instead.

But you're not like that, grannies!

You were so brave to testify!
You're way smarter than me.

But if you don't go and sue them,
it's so unfair.

Win or lose,
we should fight back!

Right!

Point fingers and ask them
why they did that to you!

You said you died back then.

- Why are you scared?
- Right!

Right! Right! Right!

I'm YAMAGUCHI Kenji.

I'm HASHIMOTO Shinobu.

I'm LEE Sang-Il.

I'm LEE Ok-joo.

Now, shall we begin?

Only 3 ladies agreed to go to court.
We won't blame you if you won't.

But please take my calls.
We're all worried.

Read that for me?

What is it?

A DOLL IN THE FRONTLINES,
TRAMPLED AT AGE 17

'I have nothing but the skin
on my back.'

'If I die, who'd take interest
in my miserable life?'

'Why couldn't I live life
like everyone else?'

'I'm the victim and the witness.'

KIM Hak-soon looks a lot like
my friend.

Who?

Geum-bok.

If she were alive, she would've
stood up like that, too.

She was a brave girl.

But...

Could I be brave like her?

I'm not sure.

It wasn't a house. Just a tent.

Made of plastic.

It was so cold.

Many girls coughed up blood.

You were in Nanjing for 5 years?

Maybe 5 or 7 years...

No one really knew
what was going on there.

Tell us more about how Col. MIYAZAKI
helped you and your friend escape.

I came back alone.

But you said
your friend came out, too.

That's not what you said before.

No, I didn't say that.

You heard wrong.

This is not good.

- Shall we stop for today?
- Yes.

Thank you, ma'am.

Ma'am?

They came all the way from Japan
to help us.

- Could you...
- Why should I be questioned?

And by Japanese men?

As the trial will be in Japan,
we must work with Japanese lawyers.

And Mr. LEE is an ethnic Korean.

Seeing Japanese men disgusts me.

Ma'am!

- See you tomorrow.
- Bye.

Why aren't you eating?

How can you eat?

Why didn't you persuade her?
Are you doing your job right?

You need to relax.
These trials take time.

How can I when you're like this!

Mr. CHOI...

What?

I worked half my life here!
You call that severance pay?

You got my agency suspended!

I could sue you for damages.
Be thankful you got paid at all!

Besides the prostitution tour,
why else would they visit Busan?

Didn't you scout me
knowing that?

You were happy to earn more
thanks to Mel
.

Let's go.

I worked hard to revive
your dying company!

Now you treat me like shit?

I trusted you! Is that a sin?

You betrayed me!
I didn't know!

Even so, it's your responsibility.

What?

That's what CEOs must do.

To hold legal
and moral responsibilities.

But he stained our reputation...

- I didn't...
- Wait.

I'll be in touch.

Ms. MOON?

Please keep the prostitution tour
a secret from the grannies.

Wait!

We need to talk.

We've been struggling to find
grounds to file suit.

But we found it.

Like you,
it's about moral responsibility.

What?

May I?

The preamble of the Japanese Constitution
states the regrets in starting wars,

and Japan's 'moral duty'
to repair the damages.

Compensating the grannies
falls under here.

But you said
there was no relevant law.

Right. But there's a precedent.

From 1 978, Korean A-bomb survivors
received free medical care from Japan.

Although the case was before
the Constitution was enacted,

they accepted it under
the 'duty of a moral nation.'

So we can sue them within
the Japanese Constitution?

Yes!

Also, it's important to note
there is no 'current law' on this.

The government did not legislate for
apology, compensation, or indemnity.

As such neglect constitutes
a legislative omission,

we seek an apology
from the government,

and compensation of
$5.5 million.

- Question!
- Yes?

Where are you going
all dressed up, ma'ams?

Your attention please.

The temperature is 22 C
and we 're travelling at 12 knots.

We 'Il stop for 4 hours at Shimonoseki
for immigrations.

Take deep breaths.

Oh dear.

I'm okay.

When will the announcements end?

It's okay.

You're so weak.
Stop troubling Ms. MOON.

Right.

Wish I was too seasick and died
on the ship to Saipan.

Is that really Shimonoseki?

It changed so much.

I was dragged here at 14.
Now I'm back as a granny.

Oh dear.

Hello, grannies. How are you?

Hello, I'm HANABUSA Emiko.

Greet our trusty supporters
from Fukuoka.

Welcome to...

It's okay.

Thank you.

- Let me get that for you.
- Let's go.

- Let's go! Let's go!
- Watch your step.

Here they come!

How do you feel now?

Cheer up grannies!

They all came to see us?

Yes.

With more spectators,
it puts pressure on the court.

It's important to have
many people out here.

See? We're not alone.

Do you expect to win
against the Japanese government?

THE 1st HEARING

All rise!

Be seated!

Comfort women and labor camp victims
of Busan versus Japan case.

The first hearing will now commence.

Your Honor?

Before we begin,
I have an objection.

Before we even begin?

I object to the dismissal of
the plaintiffs' supporter.

The plaintiffs need help in moving
and don't speak Japanese.

As it is their first trial,
I reapply for the supporter to stay.

The supporter's interpretation
may interfere with the trial.

There is a court interpreter
for the proceedings.

Your request is denied.

- What the hell are they saying?
- I'm not sure...

Plaintiffs, please remain quiet.

It's contempt of court.

Gwi-soon, you know Japanese.

But this is hard.

Silence now.

Or court will be adjourned.

How frustrating!
Isn't this our trial?

Ms. MOON? Come quick!

Please stay seated!

Is the supporter here?

Yes.

Please come forward.

The judge asks you to remain quiet.

Let's be quiet
to speed things up.

Okay.

Plaintiffs' counsel,
make your opening statement.

Where we stand now,

many Japanese who have died
for our country lay asleep.

But we must remember
that there are also others

who died wrongfully
and unjustly.

Although Japan should first
give apology and compensate,

victims have been neglected
and ignored for half a century.

This trial is the result
of the great divide that has formed.

The plaintiffs revealed themselves
and have come here to appeal.

What does that mean?

As they have broken their silence
and stepped forward,

history must not be overlooked
or forgotten.

Thus, to expedite the recognition
of facts in this lawsuit,

we request the defendant government
to promptly submit the evidence

and seek to find the legislation
that should exist.

Yes!

Hear! Hear! That's right!

What a fine young man.

I wish he was my son.

No way. He's my son.

It must be nice for you, Jung-Gil.
You have a grown son.

Order in the court.

Defense, make your statement.

The defendant, Japanese government,

greatly regrets
the plaintiffs' hardships.

However, this issue was finalized
in the Korea-Japan Treaty of 1965.

There is no legal basis
for individuals

to claim post-war compensation
against the state.

Thus, this case should not be
dealt with in court.

In 1 965, Japan hid its involvement in
the provisions of 'comfort women.'

Also, it was an economic treaty,
and human rights issues were excluded.

Though there was no contention
to compensate victims,

individuals' claims can be made!

Defense? Do you wish to comment?

No, Your Honor.

The next hearing will be
on December 13th at 1:30 pm.

The plaintiffs should prepare
to testify.

It's over already?

After pushing the trial off
for months,

they just make us sit here?

- I'm hungry. Let's eat.
- Not now.

Can I just rest
and not take a bath?

The hot spring will help relieve
stress and tension.

I've never been to a public bath.

Don't be shy. It's just us.

- But...
- Let's go in.

You almost gave me
a heart attack, girlie.

JOSEON PUSSY

What's JOSEON pussy?

Forget it. Let's go!

What's the matter?

Of course, they're shocked.
Where else would they see this?

What happened to your stomach?

The assholes did it, of course.

I got pregnant and didn't know.

When my stomach got bigger,
they cut it open.

Then they took the fetus out
and threw it on the ground.

I fainted on the spot.

If they just took out the baby,
I would've had kids and lived well.

But they took out my womb, too.

I didn't know and
tried everything to have a baby.

That's my biggest regret.

Those shitty bastards!

Ms. MOON? You know how to curse?

Do it again.

You motherfuckers!

Cut the bullshit you dumb shits!

I'll pull your tongues out,
you good for nothing losers!

Or I'll pull your heads off
and stick 'em on a watermill!

Go dizzy and die!

How dare you strike stakes
on the grannies' hearts?

If I catch you,
I'll kick your badass to hell!

You dickheads!

That felt good!

I'm so sorry.

We can't have you stay tonight.

Was there a mistake
in our reservation?

Something came up.

Please understand.

Is there another place?

It'll probably be the same elsewhere.

Is there a problem?

I'm very sorry.

Our guests say they do not want to
share the baths

or the blankets they've used...

What?

I'm sorry,
but it's for the business.

Please understand.

What in the world?

Ms. MOON.

Calm down, please.

Mr. LEE!
I can't just go like this!

We can't keep
the grannies waiting.

Grannies?

There's no room here.
Let's go somewhere else.

Welcome.

Good evening.

She's my mother.

Thank you for your help.

Welcome.

Are you okay?

Stick 'em on the watermill!

Don't sleep!

May I?

You smoke, Ms. MOON?

I haven't smoked in a while.

I thought it'd be over soon,
but it's been a year.

It's physically challenging.

The grannies' testimonies
will be important from now on.

- Welcome back, ma'am.
- Hi.

Here's the press kit sample.

- The visas?
- Not yet, ma'am.

Still? It should only take a week.

The trial is coming up.
Get them now.

Yes, ma'am.

Your company is a mess!
You wanna ruin it?

It won't be ruined
as long as I'm here.

Once the trial is over,
we can recover.

When will it end?

Ever seen me fail at anything?
It'll be over soon.

Is Hye-Su really quitting school?

You call yourself a mom?

Don't lecture me!

Just because your kid
tops in school!

You think Hye-Su really wants
to quit school?

She's doing it to get attention
from her workaholic mom!

But that's who I am.
I love working.

I can't pretend to be
someone I'm not.

I'm so dizzy!

Why do they call us over
once every six months?

They're waiting for us to die,
aren't they?

They must not know
how tenacious we are.

Let's show them.

It's better than a ship, isn't it?
Try the free drinks.

- I'm getting off to smoke.
- No! You can't!

Okay, okay.

Stop with your filthy lies!

Don't anger our great Emperor!

The Japanese Empire has no time
to listen to your lies!

- Shame on you!
- Where's your conscience!

The media should report on
their lies!

What is the context of
your testimony today?

Go home, filthy grannies!

- Please move!
- Stop asking for money!

Get off our land,
you prostitutes!

Speak calmly as you practiced.
And no swearing, okay?

Don't worry.

THE 3rd HEARING

Rotten bastards!

I was mutilated down there
from all the attacks!

You hear me?

Are you listening?

When I was too swollen
to even poke a needle in,

they shouted,
'Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!'

then stabbed nails in me!

Damn samurai bastards!

They couldn't have done that
if they thought of us as humans!

Trapped in a room like a pigsty,

I faced dozens of soldiers a day.

I couldn't even go out
because they always stood guard.

They threw in tiny rice balls
for food.

They violated me even as I ate.
I almost starved to death!

We had to use cans as toilets.

We were treated worse than insects!

They couldn't have done that
if they thought of us as humans!

Even if I kill all you
damn samurais,

I won't forgive! You assholes!

Even if I kill all you Japanese,
I won't forgive!

You fucking assholes.

Please control your emotions
in interpreting.

All I did was convey
the plaintiff's statement vividly!

The plaintiff's emotions
are getting across.

Defense, examine the witness.

- We have no questions, Your Honor.
- Very well.

The next hearing will be
on June 24th at 3:30 pm.

You bastards!

I, PARK Soon-nyeo,
survived that hell!

You're scared I'm alive, aren't you!

With cigarettes,
I can last 100 years!

You Samurai fuckers!

Right!

I practiced so hard,
but didn't get to say much at all.

How can the prosecutors
not say a word?

I just wanted to twist their necks
and yank 'em off!

How can it be just 8 minutes!
I'm so mad I can't breathe!

Damn it!

They'll continue to make no action.

Still, you yelled your head off
at them.

I felt so relieved!

Really?

But Ms. MOON was louder than me!

Was I?

That's right!

She looks happy too.

- Someone sing a tune.
- Yes!

Our collar badges are like
cherry blossoms in full bloom

Blossoms that encounter storms
in Yoshino mountaintops

If you were born a Japanese man,

it's your destiny to fall
like blossoms in the FRONTLINES

Isn't that a military song?

Who cares as long as
the grannies are happy.

We can't win by cursing at them.

The judge is a man too.

He won't like being cursed at.

Didn't you say
the trial itself is meaningful?

Blossoms that encounter storms
in Yoshino mountaintops

If you were born a Japanese man,

it's your destiny to fall
like blossoms in the FRONTLINES

What is this?

We brought blankets!

Now, give us our rooms.

Blankets?

This is my favorite blanket.

It's so nice and fluffy.

Ma'am?

What?

Nothing.

Why you...

It's amazing how you handle
everything on your own.

Though my husband beat me,
I couldn't think of leaving him.

I thought

how could a dumb,
unlucky girl like me live alone?

I couldn't have lived without you.

How's Hye-Su doing?

- She's all grown up now.
- No way.

I was her age
when I was dragged off.

I was just a kid
who knew nothing.

She always says
she'll quit school and stuff.

Did you tell her about me?

No. She's still young.

You said she's grown up.

Quiet down!

Go see her if you miss her.

Yes, go!

Right! I wanna go too!

Good night!

Girls! Quiet down!

Attention!

As I mentioned before,
we have a special guest today.

Give her a big hand!

Comfort Women Victim
Guest Speaker

I...

I thought I didn't have
any tears left in me...

But seeing you girls,

it reminds me of when
I was young.

It hurts so much.

- Granny! You're pretty!
- You're beautiful!

Granny, you're pretty!

You're beautiful!

Thank you very much.

You're all pretty too.

It's true! Don't cry, granny!

What about me?

You're beautiful too!

Where are you going
all dressed up, ma'ams?

To Japan.

Really? To see the Sakura?

For a trial.

What trial is that?

Comfort women trial.

Comfort women trial?

Right! Comfort women trial.

Labor camp trial for me.

What?

- Stop staring fool!
- Ma'am!

Watch the road!

Yes, ma'am.

Don't get us killed!

I'm sorry, ma'am.

We're representatives
of a national team.

- Understood?
- That's right.

- Yes, I won't forget it.
- Right!

Let's go.

Everyone's waiting.

Officer!

What's with you?

I'm not going!
I want to go home!

You must testify!

I didn't do anything wrong!
I don't want to go!

You didn't do anything wrong.

Let's go punish
those who hurt you.

I know you'll take me far away
and abandon me!

Is something wrong?

It's okay.

Ok-joo!
Wanna go see the flowers?

Your favorite peach blossoms
are in full bloom there.

You look so pretty today, Ok-joo!

- Flowers?
- Come with us!

Where was your hometown?

THE 6th HEARING
Where was your hometown?

THE 6th HEARING

THE 6th HEARING
It was Dohwa village
where pretty peach blossoms grew.

It was Dohwa village
where pretty peach blossoms grew.

People said I was pretty
like a peach blossom.

What were you doing
when you were dragged away?

What happened before
you were dragged away?

Dragged away?

About the new shoes, remember?

New shoes!

Dad bought me new shoes
with blossoms on them.

He put them in my hands.

Then he said my brother must stay
to carry on the family line.

He said sorry and cried.

I said it was okay.

I said sorry for not making
feed for our cow before I go.

I followed officers
on a train and ship.

I got sick and threw up everything.

What happened when you arrived?

What happened when...

Wait!

Where am I?

Granny?

Ma'am?

Granny!

Stop it! Stop!

Plaintiff! Take your seat!

Granny!

Will I get smart
by getting the compensation?

Still, I want to get it
and buy pretty clothes.

And I want to buy pills
to fix my brain!

Compensate me or I'll die!

I'll cut my neck
right in front of you!

Compensate me or I'll die!

I'll cut my neck
in front of you!

Return to your seats!

- I'm so sorry sir.
- Granny.

Don't hit me!

- My head hurts! It hurts!
- Help? Anybody!

Don't hit me! Stop!

- Don't hit my head!
- Call the ambulance!

Dad!

Ok-joo!

Someone call a doctor!

Objection!

The plaintiff has dementia.
Her testimony is not credible.

She is just confused sir!

Supporter! Just translate!

She's right!

Though she suffers from the effects
of assault at the comfort station,

her memories from then
are intact.

Rather, she remembers it
more clearly than anyone.

Please refer to
a specialist's assessment.

I will, but can the plaintiff
continue to testify?

Not today, Your Honor.

The protest continued today.

The Pacific War victims'
bereaved families

demonstrated outside
the Japanese embassy in Seoul

for the immediate dismissal
of Minister NA GANO for...

That's because NAGANO said
comfort women were prostitutes.

Aren't you going to fight back?

Damn asshole.

Virgins were victims,
but prostitutes weren't?

No, they suffered the same.

Still, how can I go to the trial?

I was ignorant before.

I'm very sorry.

Nonsense.

So with all your help,
did the world change?

The world may not, but we will.

It's good.

We got a reply from the defense.

As the grannies' statements
were inconsistent

and with no evidence,
it says they have no value.

Those bastards!
After being silent in court?

This is the cold, hard truth.

We've had social repercussions,
but no legal evidence.

We'll file a suit against
Nagano for libel.

But I'm worried that it’ll just end
as a political gesture, too.

How about appealing to
people's consciences?

Advertise in Japanese newspapers
that we need people to testify?

Great idea!

But that's incredibly expensive.

Come on. I can afford that!

Another $10,000? Again?

I'm sorry, but help me!

I really can't this time.

I'm under audit.
We're about to flop tool
,.

Now we have 10 grannies
who want to file suit.

You'll look after all 10?
Are you out of your mind?

How much is feeding 10 people
one meal in Japan?

You're renting your house now!
What if you end up on the streets?

Stop shoveling sand against the tide!
This is hopeless!

- Just go!
- What's with you!

Why are you so obsessed
with the grannies?

Wanna run for mayor?

I'm ashamed!

That I lived well when they didn't!

Or rather...

We didn't win yet.
We have to keep fighting.

Right?

You're deranged.
You can't be fixed.

You're out of your mind.

Gross! You crazy?

You're insane! Stay back!

- I love you!
- You lost your mind!

Get away from Mel .

Stop crying!
It won't do anything good!

I know, but if I think about then...

Ms. MOON?

It's the lawyer.

The money paid off!
We got a Japanese witness!

Really? Who?

The teacher who sent
granny SEO to labor camp.

Could you come here?

How about a massage?

Would you reconsider?

I'm sorry.

I don't want to make a fuss
by testifying.

I just want to apologize
to SEO Gwi-soon.

I'm sorry.

Will you at least come
to the hearing?

I'm sorry.

Ms. SUGIMURA.

I beg you.

I'm sorry.

THE 11th HEARING

I went on a train from Seoul
to Busan, then got on a ferry.

When I arrived in Shimonoseki,
they put me on a truck.

It took me to Fujikoshi Factory
in Toyama.

What did you do at the factory?

I cut 6,000 bullets a day
with a lathe.

Later, I put filaments
in light bulbs.

Was life at labor camp difficult?

It was hell.

Working day and night,
I was sleepy and hungry.

Once, I got caught and beaten
for eating parsley from the yard.

How much were you paid?

They said they'd pay me later,
but I didn't see a penny.

Besides that...

Plaintiff!

What are you doing?

One day,

they called out a dozen of us
and took us away on a truck.

We were so happy
to get an outing.

They put us in a big hall.

Then soldiers came in.

They chose a girl each and left.

That happened again and again.

What happened?

Because I wouldn't listen,

they cut me up
and played with me.

Even as blood gushed out...

They spread my legs
and shoved it in.

My back still hurts from that.

- Cover your filthy body!
- She's just a prostitute!

- Don't you have hearts?
- Order in the court!

Your Honor!

Take a look, sir.

The plaintiffs still feel the pain.

Please heal their 50 year-long pain
through this court!

I will reveal everything.

Gwi-soon.

On July 2nd, 1944, you sent
5 out of 70 of your grade 6 students,

and another student on February 25th
to the labor camp.

Is that true?

Yes.

As the vice-principal said,
I advised smart students to go.

A child going far away alone
to a factory like Toyama,

didn't you think it was harsh?

Well, the film showed it had
a library, cafeteria, and hospital.

You thought the factory was good
after watching its propaganda film?

That is what I thought.

That's a lie! She knew!

Silence!

Did you think the film was real?

So!

Did you persuade the parents
who begged their children to stay

at least till their graduation?

It is not to punish the witness.
Please answer honestly.

I found out later that the factory
was a lie and how horrible it was.

What did you do then?

I argued that the children
should be brought back.

But it was too late.
I didn't know how to bring them back.

The only thing I could do
was quitting the school.

Is it true that you weren't active
in trying to bring them back?

Over the course of 50 years,
I felt guilty.

So guilty that I couldn't even
look west towards Korea.

Did you know that the plaintiff
had to work as a comfort woman?

I swear I didn't know that.

If I knew,

I couldn't have lived on.

I want to apologize
even if it's too late.

Gwi-soon, I'm sorry.

I'm very sorry.

That is all.

- You're a shame to Japan!
- How much did they pay you!

- Stop it!
- How can you say that?

I'm so sorry.

You knew that about granny SEO
and didn't tell me?

And why did you make her
testify like that?

They reconciled and we presented
a decisive testimony.

What's the problem?

The process can hurt!
You're no different from them!

Is winning all you care about?

We must win.

Or else why go through
all this trouble?

Is winning everything?
Is the winner always right?

That means our grannies were taken
because they're weak?

The bastards were winners then!

Then why the trial?
They just lost to the winners.

You disgust me, Ms. MOON.

The Japanese government
should apologize at once!

The Japanese government
should accept the fault!

You're amazing, Gwi-soon.

I'd rather die than to forgive.

If they apologize like that,
I'd be happy too.

Living with hatred is hard.

What do you think you're doing here?

There's a school here!

What's wrong with
a peaceful protest!

Shut up and leave! You whores!

JOSEON fools!

Get him!

Stupid bastards!

Move!

I'LL KILL YOU!

I'm hungry.

Welcome back.

- What's that?
- Mom, I'll do it.

It happens often.

Go inside and rest.

- Sang-Il! Here.
- Thanks Mom.

I'm a woman with money,
but why are you doing this for free?

My elementary school report card
graded me on 'patriotism.'

- Patriotism?
- Yes.

Mom protested
and eventually had it deleted.

I realized life wasn't going to be easy
like this.

We had to fight for our rights.

But I never blamed my parents
for being born an ethnic Korean.

I just hated the discrimination
and injustice.

So, here I am.

Did you describe the brothel
as your lawyer had submitted?

I'm not sure.

Just say 'yes' to things like that.

Okay.

Tell me about Mr. MIYAZAKI.

MIYAZAKI...

He was a three-star colonel.

Did he send you home?

I was sick and dying...

So he wrote a permit for me.

Were you and MIYAZAKI lovers?

Can we not talk about that?

Why? You talked about it before.

That was between you and me.
I can't talk about that in the trial.

But stating special details
is most important in testifying.

Come on!

Take a break.

Mom, stop cramming her.
Go easy on her.

Aren't you late for work?

We won't starve
because I'm off one day.

Granny? Wanna practice with me?

Let's see.

MIYAZAKI?
Was he nice to you?

Maybe you were right, Ms. MOON.

Repercussions of the last trial
have raised our position.

Maybe that's why the government
is pushing hard for private funds.

Trying to play down
the testimonies?

How about visiting
the comfort stations?

For granny BAE's testimony?

Well...

It will definitely help
our case.

Are you still against it?

NANJING, CHINA

The granny from Tongyeong
would've loved a visitor from home.

She missed Tongyeong
till the day she died.

There weren't many girls
who came from Tongyeong.

She loved singing
'Hakata Night Boat.'

'Hakata Night Boat?'

Don't you sing that all the time?

Right?

Really? Maybe you know her.

Geum-bok...

Not many people know that song.

I think it was a restaurant.

It was empty and in ruins
when we arrived.

It was all covered in blood.

They told us to wash off
the bloodstains.

There were corpses at the back.

If we didn't remove them,
we'd get no food.

So,

Geum-bok and I grabbed the corpses
and moved them.

That's how we met.

Then the soldiers made stalls.

Here... There were rooms for us.

We moved from place to place
with the soldiers.

We don't know
how many years went by.

But Geum-bok and I stuck together.

If we didn't,
I would've died long ago.

Once, we hoped soldiers
won't touch us if we got sick.

So Geum-bok and I didn't put
condoms on them.

But then,

some pest-like discharge came out.

Then they struck us with
Salvarsan needles for syphilis.

It left an awful taste
in our mouths!

If injected wrong,
it rotted the veins!

I was fine, but Geum-bok...

Geum-bok's arm rotted black.

If you can't be cured,
you'd get shot.

To survive... she...

She asked me
to cut off her rotten flesh.

She was desperate to live.

THE 15th HEARING

What were you called
at the comfort station?

They called us 'JOSEON Pussy.'

I couldn't stand it.

I hated hearing that
more than death.

I hated hearing 'JOSEON Pussy'
more than death.

What else would they call them!

Stop it!

- JOSEON Pussy! Chinese Pussy!
- Order in the court!

How did you get married?

As I struggled to live on,
someone introduced me

to an elderly man
and we got married.

Could you explain further?

Is that when you had your son?

Yes.

Heaven helped me
have a beautiful baby.

I was so happy.

But...

A terrible germ
was passed on to him.

Are you referring to syphilis?

Yes.

That is all.

Defense? Your witness?

I received the plaintiff's
medical files.

However, I found some discrepancies
with her testimony.

There are some differences
with your testimony?

Seeing this will prove
that the plaintiff is a shameless liar.

Your Honor, he is insulting
the plaintiff!

Defense, adhere to your statement.

According to this record

the plaintiff has never given birth.

Thus, he is not her real son.

Koreans are good at lying!

Fools! It's over for you now!

What happened, supporters?

Silence!

Soon-mo is not your son?

How could you do this?

Why didn't you tell us?

I didn't lie. It's all true.

You ruined everything!

Everything we've done for 4 years
is ruined because you lied!

The Asian Women's Fund
was established last year.

The officials stated that
they had compensated $20, 000 each

for Filipino comfort women victims.

Way to go mom.

We're not bums!

The damn samurai fools
didn't kneel!

Think we'd settle for peanuts?

- They're crazy!
- Right.

Still, we worked hard for it.

I'm going to take it
to get my knee surgery.

Are you out of your mind?
Stupid!

What?

I'm not taking it either.
How long will we live?

I'm not dying
till I get their apologies.

Are you sick, Ms. MOON?
Why are you quiet?

She even sold women for money.
Why ask her?

Right.

What do you mean?

Didn't you hear about
the prostitution tour?

I heard she'll do anything
for money.

What?

Is that true?

She didn't know.
A manager did it.

Yes, it was a shame.

I didn't know,
but I'm still responsible.

I think the compensation
is entirely up to you to decide.

Though it has political
and historical significance,

your happiness means more to us
than anything.

I'll wait for you to decide.

- Right!
- I'm taking the money.

Where's her victim certificate?

She'll take the compensation?

Who cares?
Just give me her certificate.

I'm asking if that's what your
mother wants!

I'm a victim too you know!

Let's cancel the hearing.

She wants the money,
and has no will to sue.

In things like this,
a step forward means success.

It's a very slow and long process.

I guess I put my foot
in the wrong place.

Cheer up, Ms. MOON.

The next report is on
a terribly sad loss.

Another granny with a tragically
hard life has passed away.

Until recently,
she battled the Japanese government...

It's my fault.

I told her it'll help the case
if she revealed everything.

I pushed her to bring up
old wounds.

She died early because of me.

I'm sorry to you, too.

I was wrong.

Take the money.

Forget the trial.

Move on and be happy.

Stop sulking.

Move over.

You're all grown up.

Yes, I grew up well by myself.

Hye-Su?

Forget it.
Don't ever regret it.

No! I don't regret it

Good!

That's my mom!

I brought bread from work.
Want some?

Sure! Let's eat.

What should we eat?

Write your name under 'proxy'
then stamp it, please.

When will the money come in?

When will he be paid?

It will be paid by
the end of August.

I'll get the money for sure?

Yes, of course.

Forget this damn paper!
I want my apology!

What damn apology!

It won't change anything!

Please stop!

Nothing will change!

I got donations for the grannies
who didn't take the compensation.

The funeral must have cost
a lot, too.

Cheer up, Jung-sook!

Let's see if you're still kicking.

What's with you!

Your mother decided to testify.

So?

Won't you come with us?

Why would I? It's a lost cause.

It'd be nice to win.

But I learned that the world
is not about winning and losing.

You said you were a victim, too.

This trial is not just for her,
but for you, too.

THE 20th HEARING

Is it the friend
with the same tattoo as yours?

Yes.

When Geum-bok was about to die
after giving birth,

MIYAZAKI said he'd send her
back home.

Then Geum-bok begged him
to send me back, too.

We swore to stay together
no matter what.

At last, we got the permit
and got on a train.

Travelling for days on the train,

the baby couldn't sleep
and kept crying.

That night, I walked around
the train to soothe him.

When I came back,

soldiers were dragging
Geum-bok away.

I was the one holding the baby,
so they let me go.

They arrested Geum-bok instead.

I wanted to say
the baby wasn't mine,

but Geum-bok
pretended not to know me.

She wanted me to live.

She didn't even look at the baby,
then turned to go.

I was so scared then.

I couldn't even call after her.

I was afraid to be dragged
into that hell again.

I felt so guilty towards her...

So I decided to raise
the baby well.

But

my son inherited
a terrible disease.

And if he found out
who his father was,

I thought he'd go crazy.

That's why I kept it a secret
until now.

I blamed myself a million times.

It should've been Geum-bok
who survived and raised her son.

But during the last 5 years
of this trial,

I realized it wasn't a sin.

I just did what I could
to survive in that hell.

And I survived.
That is all.

What a terrible tragedy.

When her friend was taken away,
she took care of her son for life.

She hid the truth for fear of
hurting her son.

But the defense used that against her
and insulted her as a liar.

However, what she concealed
proves that she was a comfort woman!

It is evidence that proves
she was a victim!

Right! Apologize to her!

When this is all over,
let's go eat noodles.

Why pay
when I can make 'em for you?

I came all the way here
and can't even eat out with my mom?

Right.

Looking back on your life,
how do you feel?

How do you feel now?

I was taken away at 17
and lived in hell.

I'm still living in that hell.

Even if they give me all of Japan,
I don't want it!

There's only one thing I want.

Me!

Give me back my youth!

Take me back to when I was 17!

I know that can't be done,
so apologize.

You may try to hide it,
but it shows.

It's no use feeling sorry
on the inside.

Say you were wrong!
Ask for forgiveness!

Say you'll never do it again
and act like humans!

So there'll be no more war,
and girls will not be trampled on!

I'll give you a chance now
to be humans.

Seeing the grandmothers
and their history,

I feel like they're like
walking museums.

So we should make 'herstory'

- instead of 'history' known.
- I'm proud of Hye-Su!

It's so hot!

The sentencing hearing
is coming up soon.

Time flies.

If we lose,
I'll be so mad I could die.

However,

THE SENTENCING
this took place before
the Constitution was enacted.

This took place before
the Constitution was enacted.

Also, from the preamble
of the Constitution,

the plaintiffs' claim of
'duty of a moral nation'

does not include direct apology

and compensation
to victims of colonial rule.

- That's right!
- No way!

They can't apologize
and compensate.

However,

the comfort women system

clearly discriminated against
women and other races.

It violated women's dignity
and rights

as well as their ethnic pride.

Rather than a problem of the past,

it's a human rights issue
to overcome even today.

It's an infringement of basic rights

set in Article 1 3 of the Constitution.

- We won!
- That's unacceptable!

He says they violated basic rights.
That's good!

A ruling that acknowledges
the Japanese government's responsibility

towards the comfort women
has been made for the first time.

Here's the report from Tokyo.

The judge
in the Shimonoseki Branch

ruled partially in favor of
the plaintiffs today.

Nevertheless,

the government
did not fulfill obligations

and the plaintiffs suffered harm.

Therefore, the defendant nation
shall pay $3,000 to each plaintiff.

However,

an official apology
is deemed unnecessary.

What?

Right! No apology!

It's a wrongful ruling!

- Be quiet!
- Stop avoiding responsibility!

Look.

I don't need $3,000.

Go stuff yourselves!

You fools will never understand
human talk.

Let's all go.

It's not worth hearing.

You can have it!

$3, 000! That's too much for them!

- You call yourselves humans?
- Get lost!

Also, compared to
the comfort women,

the labor plaintiffs' rights complaints

are not serious
human rights violations.

Thus, no labor contract
is constituted.

There is no obligation to pay wages.

Going to Japan 23 times
over 6 years,

I was able to continue on
with the tedious trial

thanks to
the Fukuoka Supporters' Association

and the 150 plus civic groups here.

And if it weren't for
our first 3 lawyers,

we couldn't have started
the lawsuit.

I thank all of our 13 lawyers.

I can't thank you enough.

These great ladies gave me
so much more than I could ever give.

To granny BAE Jung-Gil,
PARK Soon-nyeo, LEE Ok-joo,

and SEO Gwi-soon who passed away...

I love seeing our grannies'
wrinkled, happy faces.

To see them smile brightly,

we came all this way...

Grannies...

I'm sorry
we couldn't win completely.

We are very sorry, grannies.

Oh my!

It's okay.

If it wasn't for you,
we'd never have met these people.

Cut the chit-chat and sing a song!

Sing a song!

Sing a song!

Cheer up everyone!

Though we lost the lawsuit,
I'm okay

I may be trampled many times,
but I will not break

All of you here today

Listen to me please!

Don't start a war ever again

Wake up you foolish leaders

Though I die years from now
or even tomorrow,

I don't care!
I'll say what I want!

The plaintiffs' struggle for over 6 years
shook the judges' conscience.

It led to the first and only partial victory
of compensation for the comfort women victims.

However, the judges were soon replaced
and the Japanese government appealed.

After 5 years of trial in 2003,
the Supreme Court dismissed the ruling.

Come on in.

Right this way.

What are you up to this time?

I'll make a museum
to make your history known.

Educate the world
so it doesn't happen again.

We didn't get an apology
or win the case.

Right.

Still, we can't say we lost.

Right.

We didn't win or lose.
Let's just say it's not over yet.

Because it's not over
till it's over.

Right!

On April 4th, 20 17,
the last plaintiff passed away.

Ready? One, two!

The plaintiffs' representative

is still working on registering
the court records with UNESCO.
